This is my second perfume feature, but this one is really worth the post.  L’Eau d’Hiver is a powdery iris & heliotrope fragrance that lingers on the skin with a surprising tenacity for such a light scent. It’s supposed to be a winter perfume, but frankly I see it  it easily blending into the springtime weather or on a rainy day like this (mind you, it’s been raining like mad in the East Midlands)

It’s a creation by Jean-Claude Ellena, who has worked for the likes of Hermès, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari and many others.

Available at Liberty and Les Senteurs, London.
